@TheNyctos The double thumb method - his signature method. Going up and down with the thumb, it leaves room for thim to add melody over the rhythm with the other strings/fingers :)
I remember seeing this a few years ago, and would listen to it over and over. Still, everytime i hear it i get serenaded on the spot. Much much love to this video :D
I can play the bass guitar really good the only problem I have is..i cant distiguish any difference between notes, they just sound like a bunch of sounds to me. :p
i love the way u play that bass im bout to learn how to play the bass and i wanna be as good as u some day i pick up really fast so it may take me at least a year and a half to get very good .
@hardbodytone06 What means "very good"? This guy started playing when he was 2, if you think you can catch up within even 5 years you are very very wrong.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.woo! Any one else as pumped up as me right now
@alredo the song he's soloing over is #41 by Dave Matthews Band, and the chord progression is Am-Bm-Em-Dsus4 so that should make the key A Dorian or G major.
People, this guy is 15 years old. He is just joking.
He truly wants to say, this bassist is so motherfucking insane good, that there is one thing he beats him with, because Wooten isn't playing with his eyes closed, so he is better, that's ironic sesne of humor ;).
(nevertheless, I hope for him I am speaking the truth)
@T3hAfro bro, i don't imprvise. i do covers so fair enough you guy having mentals at me. if i say jimi hendrix sucks cause he couldn't read music. you would all dissagree.so in my opinion i think he would suck at reaading music
@gameplayerz577 Its not about the level of difficulty. Keep in mind he is most likely making this all up on the spot. By your first comment "he is the worst bass player ever," it goes to show you cannot infact play this and are not infact nearly any good because you are too close minded to be any good.
What this video is really missing is Dave Matthews doing his hillbilly crip walk while "singing" in his tenor-kazoo scatman party voice. That makes everything better.
Dave Mathews is amazingly good. Victor Wooten is really amazingly good. I am beyond super really amazingly good. Then there is God. But he doesn't play bass. So that leaves me on the heirarchy.
Lmfaso if you like The Flea you know nothing about the structure of music. Being a grate bassist is not about how fast your fingers move, its about how crisp your flow and how much feeling you have to your funk, while at the same time keeping everything in beat with every thing else.
To all who like the flea music is structured art not how fast you can move your fingers. So I am sorry flea sucks. Victor has perfected the bass and the flea is a child with a toy.
@DantonTheWerewolf Obviously, you have no regard for real talent, and the god father of slap paved the way for many current famous artists, *cough* FLEA *cough*
@AvrilFan104@AvrilFan104 It is a Fodera Bass Guitar! You can mostly verify that by seeing the Butterfly on the Top of this if you wnat to know more about the Bass Guitars from Victor Wooten which are specialy designed for him in different different tunings you click on this Link! Greatings.
@Rafaelsw1 At a high enough level "best" doesn't really mean anything. Victor is one of the most technically proficient bassists, certainly at slap (with only a few, Alain Caron) that come close. But there are others: Hadrien Feraud has unbelievable fingerstyle and I don't think anyone blows through changes with greater fluidity and musicality than Gary Willis. But different people have different preferences.
@yovioleatuzorramadre How can u be so stupid 2 say that. Maybe there are some people better, but I haven't seen one yet. So shut up, and quit trying 2 talk. U definiately dont know a thing bout music.
